I've always wanted to try Esther Grace's bakes and it is a pity that I did not get to try more of mysisterbakes' sweet treats. The opportunity arose and I managed to get one of her dessert boxes! 8 tarts for $32 and each are smaller than palm sized. Cookie butter, salted caramel, black forest and lemon.  The tart bases are so good - crunchy and buttery and they hold up the crunch even after a day in the fridge. My favourite flavours are cookie butter and salted caramel, I love the sweet and savoury combination.

Kapuka Marlbourough Sauvignon Blanc 2017 New Zealand A fresh, fruity and crisp wine. Dry with high acidity though. Crab Meat with Fish Maw Broth Nourishing crabmeat fish maw broth is served to warm and comfort the belly. The ingredients were really generous too!   Steamed Cod Fillet with Garlic and Beancurd Skin Everything with garlic tastes good - especially so amidst the COVID-19 situation. Garlic like tumeric is one o

~Product Feature~ This Covid-19 virus definitely fueled by online purchases, from groceries to meals even. So much so, with this working from home arrangement, the longest I've clocked without stepping out of the house is a grand total of 5 days. The convenience of food deliveries too, makes this cooped up life a tad more bearable. Thanks to sushidelivery.sg, I satisfied my sushi craving within 45 minutes. With free delivery for purchases above $60 and a flat fee of $5.90 for purchases lower than $60, the price point is reasonable. The kind folks sent this Moriawase Sushi Party Set ($49.90) over and this is perfect for sharing with 4-5 foodies. I love that their set came with enough soy sauce and wasabi packets - major grouse when I run out of either when tucking into my sushi! My delivery came with the sushi sealed, chopsticks, soy sauce and wasabi packets all bundled up. The selection of maki and sushi rolls. The threenager had his fair share of non-raw sushi, so that keeps every

Orange Hotpot came up as one of the must tries for hotpot and we scored a private room for our party of 6 adults and 3 children. The waiter was extremely patient with us and made sure our every need was attended to. The menu is simple, ala carte or set and we all went with sets just for the final course. Read on to find out what! The set comes with appetizer, main course and dessert. We were definitely tempted by our friends' seafood order. The marbling of the Japanese beef! We were not quite ready for a splurge so we went with the more affordable pork and lamb set. Our meats were cooked shabu shabu style and with just 200 grams, this would fill a small eater considerably. Condiments are not necessary when the meat soaked up the broth really nicely. Berkshire Pork (NTD 980) Look at the folds! These were sliced so fine. A mere swish and it gets cooked just right, I like my shabu shabu meats without condiments. Australian Lamb Chops (NTD 880) These were a decent cut, barely gamey and
